GitFeed – rerank your GitHub feed by person and signal
Rescues the GitHub home feed from being drowned by AI commit spam
- Problem
- A user complained that after a friend started using Claude Code, the GitHub landing page turned into five pages of that friend's commits, drowning out other friends doing great work, to the point of unfollowing. The AI commit wave turns a people-based feed into a noise stream.
- Solution
- Pull the following list's activity via the GitHub API, detect likely AI bulk-push patterns using commit bursts, spacing, message patterns and diff size, then present grouped-by-person views, per-category muting and a daily digest, so users can still track friends without being flooded.
- Users
- Heavy GitHub users, open-source maintainers, developers who want to follow peers without the noise
- MVP
- OAuth read of following activity; daily/weekly digest grouped by person; commit-burst and suspected-bulk flags; one-click mute for a person or repo; export to morning email or RSS.
- Revenue
- Free basic digest; subscription for custom rules, email digests and multi-account management; team tier for tracking competitor repos
- Why now
- AI coding tools are making the GitHub feed unusable, the platform itself won't prioritize a filtering tool, and the open API makes this a fast, viable indie build.
